$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface. If the velocity of projection is $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$ of the escape velocity,then the height up to which the body rises is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$

The escape velocity from the earth is about $11 \, km/s$. The escape velocity from a planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the earth is ......... $km/s$.

$A$ rocket has to be launched from the Earth in such a way that it never returns. If $E$ is the minimum energy delivered by the rocket launcher,what should be the minimum energy that the launcher should have if the same rocket is to be launched from the surface of the Moon? Assume that the density of the Earth and the Moon are equal and that the Earth's volume is $64$ times the volume of the Moon.

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of a planet of radius $R$ with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity of that planet. Then,the maximum height attained by the body is

$A$ projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in the vertically upward direction from the ground into space. (${v_e}$ is the escape velocity and $k < 1$). If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the Earth to which it can go will be: ($R$ = radius of Earth)
